Sirat15

Directed by Oliver Laxe | Spain | 2025 | 1h 54m | Spanish, French & Arabic w/ English subtitles | Starring Sergi López, Bruno Núñez Arjona, Stefania Gadda, Joshua Liam Herderson, Richard 'Bigui' Bellamy

A father and his son travel to a remote rave in the mountains of southern Morocco, searching for Marina, a relative who disappeared months earlier at one of these endless, sleepless parties. Surrounded by pulsing electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they follow a group of ravers toward a final desert party, hoping it will lead them to her. Oliver Laxe’s award-winning, hallucinatory road movie is a tense, unforgettable journey, and a stark reminder that sometimes the path we take matters more than the destination.

Reviews

‘This is original, explosive (literally — you’ll see!) and ovation-worthy, cinema.’
★★★★★
Kevin Maher, The Times

‘If you’re down for a trip, Sirat is The Wages of Fear meets The Vanishing on shrooms; startlingly original, jarringly hilarious and deeply disturbing.’
★★★★★
John Bleasdale, Time Out
